12/16/2019 to accommodate the refuge lane by narrowing the center median and restriping. With installation of the refuge lane, the calculated delay would improve from 46.4 seconds (LOS E) to acceptable 28.6 seconds (LOS D) in the AM peak hour under cumulative plus project conditions and mitigate the project's cumulative impact to less than significant level. The facts in supports of this f nding are described on pages 161 through 163 of the Draft EIR. See MM TRN-1.1 above The City finds that Mitigation Measure TRN-1.1 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts associated with this issue to a level of less than significant. Accordingly, the City finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081(a)(1) and State CEQA Guidelines section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts of the proposed project related to this issue. IMPACTS THAN CANNOT BE FULLY MITIGATED TO A LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT LEVEL The City Council hereby finds that, despite the incorporation of Mitigation Measures identified in the EIR and in these Findings, the following environmental impacts cannot be fully mitigated to a less than significant level and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is therefore included herein: Impact CUL -1: The project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. Finding. The implementation of the mitigation measures MM CUL -1.1 and MM CUL -1.2 would reduce the project's significant impact a historic resource, but not to a less than significant level. Significant and Unavoidable Impact with Mitigation Incorporated) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which attempt to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15091(a) (1).) However, impacts would still remain significant and unavoidable. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, as identified in the EIR and elsewhere in the record, make infeasible the mitigation measure or project alternatives identified in the EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15091(a) (3).) Facts in Support of Finding. The project, with implementation of the mitigation measures MM CUL -1.1 and CUL - 1.2, would reduce its impact to the historic resource by documenting and commemorating the building. This documentation will be completed prior to issuance ofany demolition or gradingpermits and shall comply with Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) Level II and shall also comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation. In addition, the City will be responsible for the production and placement of an interpretive display in the new VMSC/YMCA facility that describes the history and significance of the senior center, using photographs, materials and drawings in addition to narrative text. The full requirements for documentation and display are further outlined on pages 56 through 57 of the Draft EIR. Members of the City's Historic Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC) have been invited to comment on the documentation process and have also been involved in discussion regarding the creation of the interpretive display in the new VMSC/YMCA facility and have provided comments on what the materials that should be included in the display from the historic resource. However, as the historic resource would be demolished, the impact is considered significant and unavoidable. ATTY/RESO.0124/CC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA CERTIFICATION —YMCA RESO.
